I don't think age plays that much of a role.
I'm rarely in the mood to talk to strangers on public transport. I find it annoying coming up with small talk and asking questions where I couldn't care less about the answer.
On planes I like to listen to music and play with my GBA, on buses etc well the trips are short anyway but I still don't want to talk to you.
As for a stranger sleeping on my shoulder, it would piss me off to no end. I find there isn't enough space on transport in the first place I don't need someone encrouching even more. For a long haul journey it's going to be awfully uncomfortable having someone use your shoulder as a pillow. The thing is I'd probably put up with it for a while until I had completely wound myself up and then just get narky about it. If that's the case I want to talk to you even less.
It's not that I'm anti-social or anything, I just don't think it's a place to socialise.
